Cadillac Updates Thierry Underground Resource
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 02/23/12 -- Cadillac Ventures Inc. (TSX VENTURE: CDC) ("Cadillac" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the underground resource at the Thierry Mine Project has been revised, based upon the operating costs of conceptually combining the operations of the Thierry underground and the K1-1 open pit deposits. The conceptual combination of operations has resulted in a decrease to the NSR cut-off of $5.30/tonne for the underground resource. The impact on the Resource calculation is illustrated below.
February 2012 Updated Resource Estimate at a C$41/tonne NSR cut-off
"The impact to the existing resource statement of the lowering of the conceptual combined operating costs for both the Thierry Mine underground and the K1-1 Open Pit deposits, while not resulting in significant additional tonnage at this time, will be positive for project economics and broadens the range of underground material which, may, one day, be economically mined from Thierry underground, should a production decision be made," stated Norman Brewster P.Geo, President and CEO of Cadillac.
Mr. Brian H. Newton, P.Geo, of Billiken Management Services Inc., on behalf of the Company, and Mr. Eugene Puritch, P.Eng. of P&E Mining Consultants Inc. are "Qualified Persons" pursuant to NI 43-101 and have both reviewed and approved the contents of this press release.
